This gift box contains four traditional Scottish teas, all packed in a beautiful, full-color gift box. You'll receive ten individually-sealed teabags of each flavor, perfect for starting your day or relaxing in the afternoon. Each box contains the following assortment:

Scottish Breakfast: A traditional blend of the finest teas from Assam, Ceylon and East Africa. This brews a rich golden cup of tea with strength and liveliness to waken the taste buds.

Heather: There is nothing quite like seeing the highlands when the heather is in full blossom. As well as being beautiful itís also delicate and sweet to taste when brewed. A rich and malty Assam tea works well with this sweetness, and a dash of the best African tea lifts the whole blend to make a smooth and perfectly balanced cup of tea with a long sweet aftertaste.

Irish Whisky: Yes, you did read that right! Whisky, and without the alcohol. Marinated into large leaf Black China tea, the flavor imparts the smooth, pure taste and smells of a fine Scottish malt. The whisky flavor doesnít have any peatiness to it. Instead, the China teas have a delicate hint of smokiness to them, which works in perfect harmony with the whisky notes. Best drunk black.

Thistle: Thistle blossom has a slightly fruity tang to it, Edinburgh Tea & Coffee Company's taster looked to Dimbula in Sri Lanka. The teas from Dimbula are rich and rosy with a delicate piquant flavor, and with a little bit of East African teas added in as well. Thistle tea has a pleasing sharpness complemented by a long, stimulating, appetizing finish. This tea works well with a slice of lemon, but can be enjoyed just as much black or with a dash of milk.

I purchased this as a gift for my cousin who loves tea. She really liked it and was impressed that it wasn't typical teas - e.g., green, chai, etc. She also really enjoyed the teas. Packaging was nice and it makes a nice gift. I would recommend. I actually wish I had bought one for me....
